Hi everybody, welcome to our next episode of The Great Cover-Up!
Let’s get started!
I have been anxious to use the darling grass from our Weave a Basket die collection to build a nest for my eggs, also from this die collection. Today’s card shows you just how I achieved that look, using my nest, speckled eggs, and metal bucket in lots of lovable layers!
I first cut my grass from Kraft cardstock and then swiped it across my Versamark ink pad. I then added Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel and heat set it in place. These pieces created my nest…aren’t they cute?
I nestled my grass in my Vase Collection 7 Mini bucket. I then added my eggs which I colored using sponged on ink in Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist, and Pale Peony. I spritzed them with water and once dried, splattered them with soft, brown paint.
I layered my completed nest and bucket or a die cut Love to Layer: Scalloped Circle die, the new Delicate Circle die, a layer of vellum, and then a bottom layer of a Bitty Big Mint Julep Love to Layer: Scalloped Circle. To finish, I added my sentiment, stamped on a die cut Banner Builder: Basics. My sentiment is from the Just Sentiments: Easter Mini stamp set.
Happy Spring crafting!
Melissa
